RHONY Star Sai De Silva Hit With Divorce Filing After 9 Years of Marriage

Well, that did not take long to get loud. 'The Real Housewives of New York City' star Sai De Silva and her husband, David Craig, are ending their marriage after nearly 10 years. Us Weekly says Craig filed for divorce in New York on Thursday, April 2. Neither of them has said anything publicly about it yet.

The basics, without the fluff

• 2009: They meet on a trip to Costa Rica.
• 2011: Their daughter, London, is born.
• 2017: They get married, and welcome their son, Rio, the same year.
• Pre-RHONY: They keep the relationship low-key and mostly offline.
• April 2 (Thursday): Craig files for divorce in New York, per Us Weekly.

Why this lands with extra irony

If you have followed Sai at all, you know she has been crystal clear about drawing a line around her marriage. On a 2024 episode of 'Sofia With an F,' she explained why she keeps her husband out of the spotlight as much as possible, even while doing a show that thrives on putting everything under a microscope.

'My relationship is not open for judgment.'

That was her stance: once you hand your relationship to the internet, people feel entitled to pick it apart. So she didn’t. On social, she would cover Craig’s face or crop him out entirely because, as she put it, it is her platform. He did pop up on RHONY here and there, but he was never part of the brand. He wasn’t shooting campaigns with her, wasn’t her photographer, and definitely wasn’t chasing screen time.

How private was private?

Very. Sai said Craig simply is not interested in being public-facing. No social media at all — not even a Facebook page. He supports her career and thinks it is great that she has built a life out of it, but he does not want to be seen and does not want to be in photos. She has also called him funny and a good guy, while making it clear she did not want him dragged into the RHONY crossfire. She would vent to him like anyone does with their person, spill the tea at home, but she did not want him involved in the on-camera chatter.

Where RHONY stands right now

Sai is currently filming season 16 of 'The Real Housewives of New York City' alongside Jessel Taank, Erin Lichy, Carole Radziwill, and some new Bravo faces. How (or if) the split will show up on the season is anyone’s guess, especially given how intentionally she has kept Craig on the sidelines.

Bottom line: the divorce filing is real, the details are still quiet, and the timing is notable given how deliberately off-camera this marriage has been until now.
